The back and sides are of laminated Indian Rosewood to reduce feedback and to enhance stability in the sometimes environmentally chaotic world of the working guitarist. As with other Ramírez guitars, the neck is Spanish Cedar and the fingerboard is Ebony, with an Indian Rosewood bridge. The finish is a gloss lacquer.

Setup for new Ramirez guitars.

We carefully inspect and setup all new Ramirez guitars to ensure that they are in fully playable condition. We will do any additional setup adjustments according to the purchasers needs at no extra cost.

Generally the “factory action” is in the range of 8/64” treble and 8.5/64” bass; the normal range of standard classical “concert” action height for players using typical classical right hand technique with an aggressive light right-hand attack. We always adjust the nut slots to our preferred settings.

If you are playing in the Latin jazz style with free-stroke right hand technique and don’t anticipate using an aggressive rest stroke, then we would advise that we lower the action before shipping. If you are an aggressive player, then we generally stay with the current “standard” action height.

We setup any new or used guitar we sell to suit the player; Please provide as much information as possible about your playing style so we can make an informed decision on how to setup the guitar;

Your right hand picking attack; free stroke vs. rest-stroke

Classical right-hand position vs. Chet or Latin style hand position

Your estimation of your normal action height on your current guitars (low vs. medium or high) plus anything else that will help us to setup your guitar appropriately.
